National Bakery

Located on Westchester Avenue, this spot presents a sharp contrast between its daily grab-and-go options and its specialty counter. While the neighborhood relies on it for quick, satisfying counter orders, custom cake commissions frequently run into trouble. Customers warn of rushed decoration work, melting frosting, and orders arriving unfit for events, alongside mixed reviews on customer service and food safety. For those planning an event, the track record suggests looking elsewhere, even if the walk-in experience remains a local staple.
